This week, we reflect on media coverage of the 50th anniversary of the uprising in Tibet against Chinese rule. Still in exile, the Dalai Lama has called his homeland “hell on earth”. Last year’s violent protests resulted in arrests and bloodshed; a year on, has the absence of conflict made this story less newsworthy?
Alan Nie, from the ±«Óătv’s Chinese Service is among the contributors offering an assessment of the challenges involved in getting news out of Tibet.
And how can you find out what’s on the World Service if don’t have access to the internet? We provide advice from an expert.
Plus, listeners offer their views on The Strand and Indonesian Journeys.
